Making Memories Spiral Journaling Books {C’est Bon}

One new product from 2008 that I’ve really loved is the Making Memories Spiral Journaling Books. The fun scrappy office style is so “in” right now and I love how many different ways you can use them. Designed for the scrapbooking market to allow scrapbookers a quick and fun journaling space, these little tear-away sheets are also the perfect size to use on cards and altered projects. As you can see…I’m more than a little addicted to collecting them! 🙂

What I love about them…

• perfect size to use on cards as well as layouts
• fun die-cut edges
• lots of variety in each pack
•  great for stamping on
• many of the designs include lines that make it easy to space writing
• love the texture the”notebook” edge gives
• great variety of shapes
• easy to find at your local scrapbook store
• one package goes a long way
• coordinate perfectly with other Making Memories products in the line
• available in almost every Making Memories line releases as they have been so popular
• designs are extremely easy to incorporate with other product on the market
• inexpensive – price approx. $5.00 US (6.50-7.50 CDN) for thirty pages…$.17 a page

Ideas for Using Journal Sheets

•  write your journaling on them…of course! 😉
• stamp images on them
• stamp sentiments
• apply rub-on transfers
• use as an anchor for your embellishments…cluster together on the sheet
• layer under another layer
• trim off the “notebook” edge if you want a cleaner look
